Networking 101
How to make connections to help with your job search!
According to career specialists, 70-80 percent of jobs are never posted online. This means most jobs are filled through word of mouth or other private communication, otherwise known as a professional network. I don’t know about you, but whenever I’m faced with someone 10-15 years older than me wearing a power suit, I freeze. Everything interesting I’ve ever said or thought flies out of my head. It isn’t optimal. I’ve had to find resources to teach and prepare me for those awkward handshakes and first meetings. It is important to develop your own professional network while you’re in school so that you have contacts to reach out to when you begin looking for an internship and full-time job.
When to Network:
“Networking” sometimes sounds like a special skill that everyone seems to know except you. Actually, networking is pretty basic. It can happen with friends, family, or strangers, at a career event, in the classroom, on the job, or anywhere you run into someone with an interesting career path, similar career interests, or skills you find interesting. Just be approachable, open, and willing to talk about your education, background, and career goals, and you’ll be networking in no time!
How to Network:
Again, networking isn’t a special skill you unlock after you obtain a secret adult card. It's just talking and connecting to people in your field. That being said, there are a few things you can do to prepare for the dreaded question: “So what do you want to do?” First, create a 30-second commercial. We have a guide here on on website. Next, remember that networking is a conversation. Have a few interesting questions to ask the other person about their work or career path. Finally, be yourself. People want to work with people who are friendly and competent at what they do. Show that you know what you’re talking about and how to work in a team, and you’ll be good to go!
Where to Network:
Like I said before, networking can be done anywhere. But, there are a few spaces dedicated to making professional connections. Online, you can join Linkedin. We have a student-alumni group you can participate in, and adding your classmates as professional contacts can’t hurt either. Once a semester, the Career Center hosts a huge Career Fair. Check out our tips on navigating that here. Finally, we have events happening at least once a week, where you can interview alums, meet with company recruiters, or visit corporate offices. Check out our calendar for the comprehensive list!

Great turn-out at Dr. Madan’s lab tour
ME S-STEM Scholarship Program hosted a lab visit in ENG 113
The ME S-STEM Scholarship Program hosted a lab visit this past Friday, Oct. 26, 2018, to all the undergraduate in the ME department. The enthusiasm from ME students was evident. Before the lab visit starting at 12 noon, there was a long line of undergraduate students outside of Dr. Deepa Madan's laboratory, waiting to sign up for the lab tour. Almost 60 ME undergraduate students attended the lab tour.
Dr. Madan, an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering, and co-Director of the ME S-STEM Scholarship Program, has prepared the in-depth lab tour aiming at maximizing information students can get as well as balancing depth with broadness of the topics. Dr. Madan and her graduate students first showed individual research projects, then Dr. Madan gave a powerpoint presentation on how thermoelectric devices work in generating energy (electricity) taking advantage of hot and cold sources. Most importantly, she described medical applications in which those devices can be used. The lab tour concluded with individual discussions between students and Dr. Madan in small groups, allowing students to ask questions not only to individual projects, but also on how to pursue research as an undergraduate students in the department.
Based on the students' feedback, more than 95% of the students are satisfied with the lab tours, and they are more interested in having research experience than that before the tour. Almost all of them want to participate lab tours in the future if it is available. Students also provided suggestions to improve the lab tours, including having a larger room, decreasing noise level, and limiting the total number of attendees.
->-> Stay tuned for more events!

Researcher of the Week: Collin David
Performing music in Sao Paulo, Brazil!
Collin David is a Music Composition major and a merit scholar who will graduate in 2019. With the help of a UMBC Travel Award, he traveled to Sao Paulo, Brazil, for the Sao Paulo Contemporary Composers Festival, to present his original music compositions.
Describe your project: I wrote two pieces of classical music, one for orchestra and one for chamber ensemble. These two pieces were performed and recorded.
Who is your mentor for your project?: Dr. Linda Dusman. Composition Faculty, Music Department.
How did you find your mentor? Why did you choose them?:
She has been my composition teacher/mentor since I came to UMBC in 2016. I chose her because she wrote music that I thought was interesting and that I could learn from.
How did you become interested in this project?:Dr. Dusman made me aware of this opportunity and I submitted an application.
What has been the hardest part about your research/what was the most unexpected thing?:
The hardest part for me was accepting that I will not get perfect recordings or performances. I was hoping for a perfect recording, but although it was good, it was not exactly what I was thinking. The most unexpected thing was the music of the other festival participants. I had certain expectations of what I thought people would be doing, but I was quite far off.
What has been the most rewarding part?:
The most rewarding part was meeting people from all over the world and making connections that will last. The experience of traveling so far away and learning about the culture was also a rewarding experience. I have already begun using things I learned in Brazil in my music.
How will you disseminate your research?:I gave a presentation to the music composition students on October 31.
What is your advice to other students about getting involved in research/creative work?:
I cannot speak for standard research, but I think music festivals like the one I attended are more beneficial and possibly even necessary for music students, since they help you make important connections and get professional recordings both of which will help further your career. I plan to attend many more festivals in the future.
What are your career goals?:
My goals are to be a proficient musician in multiple instruments and to be a composer of music in many different genres. I also plan to teach music privately as well as potentially at schools from elementary to higher education.
